Cardinal Bergoglio calls for unity in Argentina

The Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, urged politicians last week to seek dialogue in order to resolve the nation’s problems. He stressed that the country needs “to opt for unity over conflict.”

The cardinal explained that engaging in dialogue to build an inclusive society is the starting point for addressing the challenges that face the nation.

“Opting for conflict leaves us sterile and is destructive,” the prelate warned, adding that such a path could leave Argentineans “orphans without a country.” He urged them to work for their country “with justice, solidarity and hope.”
